"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

Ritt\'s songs are rough and smooth at the same time, acoustic roots rock
with just enough mountain music in it to remind you he is from Kentucky.
He is joined by his trio, musicians he has played, recorded, and
consorted with over the last fifteen years. They are an authentic,
well-honed piece of work.

The Delta Jets (from Green Bay) will get hold of you and pull you in. Dale Anderson plays an assortment of guitars and evokes that Muddy Waters thang with a mix of originals and old time blues standards. Drummer Mark Riggenbach kicks a steady back-beat that gets the juke joint rockin. This is no ordinary blues group, this is a blues exorcism.
